It didn't appear to me that there were many if any passengers top side, I don't see many folks scrambling to get off that thing, just trucks and a few people.
That tub was doomed every time it left the dock for the past thirty seven point two years.

Ships master certainly knew they'd been taking on water, but not much visible urgency as it approached dock. It's probable a parallel sand bar aggravated situation. If a few heavier vehicles were starboard side, once a few moved to disembark, game over.
Depth of water alongside dock somewhat more than vessels bridge. So, might have come in at perhaps one-half it's draft. At 5:17 it appears to have capsized far as it could go. Ferry craft are mostly weatherdeck, being a river vessel, probably flat bottomed too. If salvaged, they'd have sealed hull and pumped out, the super structure probably doesn't have many watertight compartments.
Along with a fatalistic religious belief system that dictates it's their deities will if they live or die.Quote:

Far back as I can remember, how easily large groups of people get talked into something, wholesale!Quote:
